Treasures by Louise

Yay! I just found out I am the winner of the earrings I posted about last Thursday. I  want to share a link to Dillman's Diversions, the Etsy store of the artist who makes the beads: Check out this beautiful Lime green & Black bracelet (http://www.etsy.com/listing/153530210/lampwork-bead-bracelet-in-lime-green-and?ref=shop_home_active) Follow the link above to see this bracelet and the whole store! I hope to finish Amy's Green and Grey necklace in the next two days,... so check back Friday to see the finished project.

I'm making progress, on the green and grey birthday necklace... Ideas are germinating and sprouting! Meanwhile, another giveaway, I'd like to win: these earrings. This lady does some very nice work with lamp work glass beads. Visit Dillman's Dallies to share and comment for your chance to win. Dillman's Dallies

I have a request from a special person for a Birthday Necklace and these glass beads are part of the inspiration. We had the black and green faceted beads first, to me they resemble reptile skin with their coloration. The green faceted beads brighten things up a little and they go nicely with the dress. Hematite works but it all is a bit too dark. I made a (center) wire wrapped section of three links, but am at a stand still for the moment. Glass and Hematite beads The dress is a white background with black, grey and green large 3-5" floral motif . I have some creamy white shell beads and some pale green quartzite and some green quartzite chips. I'm also considering some silver beads to brighten things up. If you have ideas on what you'd add to these beads, please leave a comment.  I don't have a focal bead in mind but one of the pewter animal beads in this Giveaway might be just the thing. Don't you think I should win!?? I'm sharing a link to Lor
